As you already know, I am a music fan. But I bet you didn’t know that music is my ‘go-to’ drug of choice when I am having a bad or an emotional day.

Yep, I have bad days too and I do have those days where I am an emotional wreck. Music is what saves me from going insane and it picks me up. Music changes my attitude.

When I was fighting for my marriage to work (which was a losing battle) I turned to music to help me. I was a stay at home mom with a 7 year old. No job, no friends except family. I was young, naive and thought my marriage was worth fighting for. One of the most difficult times I have gone through.

Here is the album that I wore out. Shanya Twain: Come on Over. I listened to this every day for almost 6 months. The music kept me sane and helped me fight when I didn’t have the energy.

This song helped me fight for a year and half. This song made me realize that no matter what the outcome was, there was nothing that could take away the love I have for my son. As you know, I won that custody battle. My son has been by my side for 24 years. I am blessed.

Those days where I am feeling emotional like to listen to my family music. Weather I am thinking about my grandma, my aunts/uncles or cousins that have passed I love listening to the music that started it all for me.

This is one song my aunts are singing. Keep in mind the quality is not the best since I am not a professional in converting cassettes to digital.
